About the Series

The TC Beirne School of Law is one of the leading research intensive law schools in Australia. The annual McPherson Lecture Series is part of the School’s endeavour to foster the creation and dissemination of high quality research to the wider community.

The series is named after The Honourable Dr Bruce McPherson, who retired in 2006 from the Supreme Court of Queensland after serving 24 years on the bench. Dr McPherson is an internationally respected commercial and corporate lawyer who has been in practice for 41 years. His books are regarded internationally as leading works.

The series consists of three lectures presented alternately by an outstanding international legal scholar or judge on a matter within the area of private or commercial law. For each series, the three lectures are on a related theme which forms an integrated whole.

Attendance at the McPherson Lecture Series is free and open to the public.
